The Country Newspapers Are Powers for Good rvon Attnnln GEORGIA) The weekly country newspaper is the national policeman. In the night in a great city you see a policeman slnnindg in the middle of the street "on fixed post.” There lie stands in all kinds of weather. He must not move, the people must know where they can find him. What a fixed post policeman is to a big city, the country newspaper is to the nation. It is the national policeman on fixed post, ready to bear the people’s complaint, ready to hot and protest against dang erous legislation or dangerous public opinion. The country news) nper is the national public forum; it is the concentrated expression of local thought. The country newspapers combined ARE ti e people and lb ■ power of the country. .Self-satisfied metropolitan editors and busy, iil-info mod big business men fail to appreciate the country editor’s im portance. The man who edits a country newspaper and pos sesses his reader’s confidence is the school toailur of grownup men and women. It is to him that the citizen’s mind turns in time of doubt for i iforinntion and for advice Lased on local knowledge. There are at least fifty millions of human beings in this country to whom the voice of the country editor moans- more than any other voice in the nation. As the country editor’s power is great in forming public opinion, protecting public interest, influencing congressional f cti m, so it is great as a business agent and POWERFUL AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. X X x- X X Tha country editor should bo recognized : n 1 utilized as the nation’s MOST EFFICIENT SALESMAN. The advertisement well told and well displayed in the country newspaper actually reaches the most powerful buying public in the world. And that public can not be reached with equal efficiency through ANY other medium. The subscriber to the country newspaper is the best cus tomer of the intelligent advertiser. He buys everything from books to harvesting machinery, from encyclopedias to gas en gines, from paint for the roof to cement for the cellar door, from fancy front yard fencing to drain tile for the fields. Pick out the typical American family that reads the typi cal American country newspaper and there you have a buying power that interests every intelligent business man and adver tiser in the United States. • X X X X X It is the duty of those interested in the public welfare to proclaim the value of the country newspaper as an advertising medium regardless of personal interest. It is important to the nation that the country editor should be absolutely independent of corporations, of all influ ence except that of the readers whom he serves. To increase the prosperity, the INCOME, of the country editor is to increase the efficiency of the greatest educational and protective institution in the United States. The business man helps to build up his country and at the same time uses the best medium for building up his business, when he gives a large share of his advertising, appropriation to the country newspaper. There are nearly twenty thousand country newspapers published in the United States, each a center of information, of intellectual activity, each a schoolhouse for the grown man and woman, each an important member of the national police force. It is no exaggeration to say that democratic govern ment of the United States would be impossible, should this en lightening force, the country newspapers, be-climinutcd. For they are the local checks, (ho local guardians anil watchmen. Every man in congress knows the power of his country newspapers at home and knows that those newspapers are watching him. And if we have something approaching democratic government in the United States we may thank the country editor for it.
